It had been so long since she'd taught a class, and Rae almost felt as if she were rusty. Still, teaching was something she loved and that was a major reason she had refused to give it up when she became Headmistress. She propped the door opened and straightened the desks before sinking behind her own desk. This felt like home.

Raven walked in and sat at the front of the classroom pulling out her wand and book. She smiled at Professor Rae and sat there examing the new Headmistress. "Hello Professor," she said kindly slouching in her seat looking around the room and back at her.

Kass walked into the classroom. she looked around. there was only raven in there "hye there" she said sitting down next to her as she fixed her glove. she put her bookbag down next to her and opened it and took out her book.

Adz walked in and happily took her seat. She got out all her stuff, and waited for instruction.

marvolo walked in."DADA.....cool.i don't want my fate to be detention though."

Laura walked in and sat at her usual seat in the far right corner, as she walked in she smiled at Adz. She got out her wand and put it on the desk in front of her. This would be a great class.

Rosa walked in and muttered 'good to see you, professor!' enthusiastically, but rather soft. then she sat down in the back of the classroom and got out her wand and her books. she couldn't wait to have a real defence against the dark arts class, without nifflers and discussing school rules.

Astoria walked into the classroom with a smile on her face. She was happy to see that Perry was no longer in the postition of DADA teacher. He wasn't a really good teacher in her opinion anyway. Maybe they would actually learn something in DADA class with a different teacher.

She weaved her way through the desks and came to a stop at one of the middle tables. She placed her things on the table and took a seat. She was excited for this class to begin because she liked Defense, even though her strong class was Transfiguration. That was her strength at Beaubaxtons, anyway. She wasn't sure if defense would become her new strength with a new teacher this term.

Raven waved at Kass in greeting and turned back to Headmistress Rae. She hadn't wanted to talk much since this was class and there was no reason to conversate in class. She turned back towards the front and waited for the Professor to begin her lesson.

Ginn scurried from Transfiguration to Defense Against Dark Arts and walked into the room.

"Hello Headmistress" She says.

Upon entering she found a seat, set out her supplies and waited for class to begin.

With a few books and a notebook in her hands, Vicky entered the DADA classroom.She saw Adz and a few other students already sitting there.She walked past proffessor Rae's desk and greeted her.Then she waved at Adz and sat at the back of the class silently.

Bailey walked into the classroom and took a seat near the front. She pulled out her textbook and some parchment, and then waited patiently for the class to begin.

Roma entered the classroom with her bag and looked for a seat. Spotting Astoria, she sat down beside her. "Hey," she said to her, smiling. She took out some parchment, her quill, and some ink and waited for class to begin.

Adz waved back at her friends.

Rae stood and moved in front of her desk, perching on the edge. She nodded to the few students who greeted her and studied those who were new to her. "Excellent, we're about ready to begin. Let me just remind you all of a few things. I give you lots of opportunity to speak in this class, but I expect you to speak only to me when I am teaching. If there is a practical part of the class, of course you are welcome to converse with your partner. Also, please refer to me as Professor Rae when we're in here. I know I'm the Headmistress, but when you say that, I always look for Headmistress Loryen. For now, I'm only your Defense professor. We'll wait a few more minutes, but those who are here may remove their quills, parchments, and wands from their bags for now."

ooc: When answering a question, you should RP raising your hand, and then answer immeidately as if I called on you. That will save us time. For example: "Cass raised her hand and said..." Thanks .

"o it's you"he said looking at astoria.

Christy entered in the classroom. Books in her right hand and her bag in the other. She took seat next to a Ravenclaw. She took out her parchments and quills and put the books in the table. She couldn't wait for the class begin...

When enetering the classroom, Alex already noticed a few people seated in the desks. With just a small nod tot he teacher, she made her way through the rows and, like usual, took a seat all the way at the back of the classroom. Sighing, she straighten her desk a little and sat down. She slowly took out her quill, parchment and wand out of her bag. After taking everything out that she needed, she placed the bag underneath her seat, making sure that no one would be able to trip over it. She knew from experience that it wasn't nice when you tripped over things in the middle of the class.

Looking around, she noticed a few new faces, she had never seen before, not even at the Welcoming Feast. Well, truth was, she did not even pay much attention to what happened after Headmistress Rae gave her speech. She just kind of drifted away and was lost in her thoughts. And now ... they were coming back again. And the thought that she feared the most. Would they really close Hogwarts down? Could they do that, just to keep the Book of Mysteria inside the castle? By now, she was almost one hundered percent sure that if Hogwarts really needed to be closed down, it would be because of the Book. Why wouldn't they just get rid of it? More and more thoughts kept overlapping each other and her brain, it felt like it was going to explode soon.

She shook her head and snapped back to reality. Giving yet another sigh, she grabbed her quill and started drawing stick figures all over her parchment. She always did that as she waited for class to begin. She was also a bit curious as to what the Professor was going to teach them today. After a while, she just simply started tapping her fingers on the parchment while waiting for all the students to get in and for class to begin.

When hearing Professor Rae talk, her gaze suddenly rested on her. She thought that maybe the class would begin now. But after hearing what she had to say, she gave a small, disappointed groan and went back to her drawing.

A thought suddenly popped up in her mind. If she could catch Porfessor Rae after classes, that meant that she would not have to go to Virohsa to get the password for the office. She was hoping and praying that not a lot of people would remain after class and that the Professor would not leave right away.

Rosa frowned when headm... professor Rae told them to get out their wands and parchment. she grabbed a quill and some parchment and put them on her desk, where her wand was already lying. she was curious what professor Rae was going to teach them and waited rather impatiently for class to start

Amber walked into the class room, and upon noticing Rosa, she sat down in the desk next to her. "Hi, Rosa. What does the professor want us to first?" as she noticed some students messing with their belongings.

Raven removed her quills, parchment, and wand from her desk. She slipped it back in her bag and closed it shut looking back at the Professor. "What could we be doing today," she thought to herself running her fingers across the table. She turned her head back towards the door and noticed more people coming into the classroom. She sighed relasing that this was probably going to be a review class and looked at watch now anticipating to leave the classroom.

After Vicky heared proffessor Rae she placed her wand and a quil in front of her next to the books.Then she noticed Chris coming over and smiled to her once proffessor Rae wouldn't be glad if she started talking with her.Out of boredom, she took a piece of paper and wrote 'Hey Chris how are you?' on it and passed it to her

Astoria was deep in thought, then she noticed that someone had spoken to her. She turned to the seat that had once been vacant, but was now occupied by her friend Roma. She was relieved it was her and not someone she really didn't know because Astoria didn't take kindly to strangers. She smiled and nodded in greeting to the Slytherin girl who she went through so much with last term.

Astoria looked up at the professor and was shocked to find that it was the Headmistress. She suddenly remembered she had heard from a reliable source that the Headmistress was a teacher but the headmistress from last term had fired her. She was really looking forward to the lesson now. She took out her quill, wand, parchment, and some ink. She ignored the boy who had spoken to her because he was nothing but a troublemaker in her opinion.

Taylor walks into the classroom and sits down in an empty seat, closer to the back. Taking out her books, a peice of parchment, and a quill she wait for class to start.

Rosa looked at the desk behind her and smiled at amber 'oh, hi' she whispered. 'oh. headm... professor rae, well, that's what she wants to call us here in the class, has just told us to get out our wands and parchment and quills I wonder what we're going to do'
ooc: better not go chatting, OK? O.o OK
